Frocktails Finishing Frenzy - BYO

Beginner to Intermediate

Frocktails is coming — and your outfit isn't going to finish itself.

This is a dedicated sewing session for anyone working on something special for Frocktails, the celebration of handmade fashion happening 24 October.

Bring whatever you're working on — whether it's nearly done, stubbornly stuck, or just needs that final push — and spend the day sewing alongside others who are in exactly the same boat.

Kelda & Caz are on hand to help with the tricky bits, the fiddly bits, and the bits you've been avoiding.

And as a bonus, it's a brilliant chance to meet your fellow Frocktailers before the big night — swap fabric tips, share the excitement, and arrive already knowing a few faces in the room.

Think of it as a BYO class with a deadline and a very good reason to get it done.
